A Free-lance Life

This is the first month in a while that I have had some time to pursue
my own work again and work on my tarot deck. Since I do not have many
outside imposed deadlines and set work times I'm trying really hard to
create a freelance schedule. My day job is involving more freelance
work, and I have cut back my hours at Starbucks. I have to make an
effort to plan time for getting out of the house, exercising and setting
a time to
stop working and do things to inspire me.

I'm slowly working out how to
plan out a day that works for me. In the past I have had a tendency to
fill every waking moment I am not at my day job with art stuff, but that
was ok because my day job got me out of the house, socializing and
moving about.

Jessica Hische's
blog has helped me out a lot in the preliminary steps of planning my
freelance schedule. Meg Hunt's illustration blog has also been a great resource especially her section on Drawing Drills and the Icon 8 conference. Do any of you have suggestions on how to schedule and organize in a freelance world?

I'm making
an August the 18th resolution to plan more time for; sketching,
exploring, experimenting, socializing, inspiration and collaborating.
